Episode 14 - Addiction in America with Sam Quinones
Manage episode 327274294 series 2853147
My guest for this episode is investigative journalist Sam Quinones! Sam is a veteran journalist and author, whose most recent books, Dreamland and The Least of Us, have taken a deep look into both the personal and system-level side of the opioid epidemic in America. Dreamland was heralded as one of the Best Books of 2015 by numerous national outlets, and was named one of the “50 Best Books of Literary Journalism of the 21st Century” by GQ in 2021. Quinones published The Least of Us in October 2021, focusing on the linkages between meth, fentanyl, and the current overdose crisis in America. Having read it myself, I have no doubt it will earn similar accolades to Dreamland in the years to come.
